Delete an instance from helix.toml and clean up any local runtime state for it. For local instances, Helix-owned containers, networks, disk-mode volumes, and the per-instance directory under .helix/ are deleted. For Helix Cloud instances, only the [enterprise.<name>] block in helix.toml and any local workspace state are removed — the cluster itself is untouched.

Usage

helix delete <INSTANCE> [OPTIONS]

Arguments

Argument	Description
`INSTANCE`	Instance to delete. Required.

Available flags

Flag	Type	Description
`-y`, `--yes`	Boolean	Skip confirmation prompts. Required in non-TTY environments.

Confirmation behavior

In a TTY, helix delete prints a warning and asks for confirmation. In non-TTY environments it refuses to run without --yes:

Refusing to delete '<instance>' non-interactively. Re-run with --yes to confirm.

Examples

# Delete a local instance (TTY)
helix delete staging

# Delete non-interactively
helix delete staging --yes
